Abstract
A computer program has been written which enables the algebraic processing of Clifford Algebras within programs written in C++. The program is an extension of the program SymbolicC++ by Tan and Steeb and follows their methods of supporting a class through template classes. Classes have been written and tested including Clifford(2), Clifford (3) and Clifford(2,2). The classes can also be accessed from within an interpreted language, Tcl, via an interface program.
